Many of the 63,000 comments that have since popped up on his video have been positive, with parents of bullies and bullied alike thanking Mr Cox for his parenting.

“As the grandparent of an autistic boy who has been the victim of neighbourhood bullies, I applaud you! Too many parents do nothing,” read one reply.

Read another: “Wish more parents took the time to hold their children accountable for unacceptable behaviour.”

However, others pointed out that by shaming her with the punishment video, the girl was arguably being bullied by her father.

“Humiliate her by putting her on Facebook being punished. Irony,” one user commented.

“Ok but wait, is she bullying other kids or did you stop to hear her explanation? Was she reacting to being bullied and just got caught? If public shaming is your idea of punishment no wonder she’s acting out,” said another.

Mr Cox told News 5 Cleveland that he showed Kirsten and his two other children the video and people’s comments on it.

They “seem[ed] to show a great deal of empathy towards some of the sad stories that I read with them,” Mr Cox said.

He added that he hoped parents would “start holding their kids accountable”.
